I made hotel reservations by phone with Michael, a very nice man who described a room with a queen size bed, a full size sofabed and a dining area, thanks once again Dennis for a great deal right near a train station, great location and nice amenities once again! I'll room again with Mark (aztecan) which is great fun, I don't know how he does it.

Booked travel online with Amtrak on the Northeast Regional which is about one third the price of Acela...98.00 round trip plus 8.00 travel insurance, total 106.00.

No, I'm sure he was looking to book a train with a Marine wearing a kilt.

Deal! Since we've yet to meet each other here in Texas, it's only fitting that we should meet for the first time in another state (or district).

I'm just glad to see that no one is flying into Dulles. Complete waste of time, and the money you might save, you would pay for in taxi service to Arlington. That being said, I live in Arlington, within earshot of National's runway...so, if anyone does end up flying into Dulles and needs a ride, let me know. I would be happy to drive out to pick you up. Otherwise, plan to spend $30 each way to get to the city. In fact, if you're flying into national and need a ride, I would be happy to oblige. The Metro is very convenient though. If you decide to Metro to Rosslyn, make sure that you get on the blue line, bound for Largo.

Crap. I just realized the dates. I'm going to be out of town that weekend. Sorry, I can't offer any rides, but I would certainly be willing to help you all with planning, if you need me. I've lived in the DC metro area for eight years now, so I'm pretty versed with anything you might want to know. Just let me know how I can help.

Well crap! I'm pretty much transit impaired, to say the least.

So I was thinking of taking you up on your offer. But that's o.k. I'm sure I'll make it to the hotel, though I will probably opt for a taxi. LOL

You're going to miss a really good time, with some wonderful people attending AMG.

I'm coming in on Wed and arriving at National. (I think

No sweat then. If you are flying into National (DCA) then you can take the metro (no need to change trains) all the way to Rosslyn, and the station is right next to the hotel. You'll just want to make sure to take the blue line train towards Largo, and ride it to the Rosslyn station. You just have to be sure that you get on the blue line train, and not the yellow line train, because they use the same platform. Once you board the train, Rosslyn will be the fifth stop. See how easy that was?

Yep, we'll probably all be in RAB's room. I'm sure he will have the makings of a manhattan, at the very least.

A much better location for you than that bar in Seattle at the top of that BIG hill. I thought I was going to lose you a few times as I guided you back to the hotel........... I had visions of you rolling, ass over elbow, all the way down

Isn't a Manhattan just straight liquor over ice? I think I did a few of those with the group?

Sacrilege! There's also vermouth and bitters in a Manhattan, as well as a cherry. Yes, in Seattle, Von's did a very nice job with their Manhattans. I could use one right now, and it's on 10:30 AM.

Hugs,Mike

Who, Moi?

Yes, I do remember running/stumbling/staggering down that hill. I had fun that night.

But I wasn't drinking manhattans. Mine was scotch on the rocks, or with a splash of water. I have trouble remembering. It was probably the laverdar martini that started the afternoon.

I am sure that they will have something to drink on that Red Eye flight to DC..... doesnt take off till 9:00 so can have some while waiting.... see you all there for breakfast at least..of course you could all sit in the Bar and wait for me
